DevOps Engineer — Debug Workflow

Description: Fix issues and errors in artifacts

When to Use

Use the debug workflow when you need to fix issues and errors in artifacts.

Input Requirements

  • Infrastructure topology diagrams and resource inventories
  • Monitoring and alerting configurations
  • Incident reports and post-mortem analyses
  • Capacity forecasts and resource utilization metrics
  • Service level objectives (SLOs) and error budgets

Process

  1. Initialize — Set up the debug context for DevOps Engineer
  2. Execute — Perform the debug operation following DevOps Engineer's style
  3. Validate — Check output against quality gates
  4. Handoff — Deliver results to downstream personas

Output

  • Infrastructure as code definitions for all environments
  • Monitoring and alerting configuration with SLO-based thresholds
  • Incident response playbooks with escalation procedures
  • Capacity planning reports with growth projections
  • Post-mortem templates and improvement tracking

Quality Gates

  • Infrastructure changes must be defined as code, never manual
  • Observability instrumentation required for all production services
  • Runbook documentation mandatory for all operational procedures
  • Incident response procedures must include post-mortem requirements
  • Capacity planning must project at least 90 days ahead
